Sedum sarmentosum, commonly known as Stringy Stonecrop or Gold Moss Stonecrop, is a perennial herb with a spreading habit, native to forest edges and rocky areas in East Asia and Southeast Asia. It has been introduced to North America and Europe. This succulent plant typically grows to a height of 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) and spreads vigorously, forming a dense mat of bright green, evergreen leaves. The star-shaped yellow flowers bloom in summer and are moderately showy, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Stringy Stonecrop is valued for its rapid growth and ease of maintenance, making it an excellent ground cover for rock gardens, green roofs, and borders. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil, although it is tolerant of a range of soil types, including poor soils. Due to its succulent nature, it requires minimal water once established, making it a drought-tolerant choice for xeriscaping. While it is potentially invasive in some regions, its use in contained areas such as containers or areas where its spread can be controlled is recommended to prevent unwanted naturalization.CC BY-SA 4.0
